Message: [QUOTE="Rufus, post: 4838403, member: 7277"] Somebody has to eat those losses to the top brands. Rutgers has vastly improved competitively since joining the B1G in most sports, although they still aren't to the point of challenging for football or basketball titles. When playing other leagues, Rutgers is more than holding its own. In the last 3 football games vs. ACC teams, Rutgers is 3-0, with wins over Miami, Virginia Tech and Boston College. Rutgers has qualified for multiple NCAA basketball tournaments in recent years. When have they ever been able to say that? As of now, they have the #3 recruiting class in the nation, only trailing Duke and Kentucky. All the while they still aren't getting a full conference payout from the B1G, as they are still in the process of repaying loans the B1G gave them in the early years in the conference. They have utilized their funds to improve their athletic facilities in multiple sports and they are now challenging - and starting to win - conference championships in Olympic sports. I personally don't give a crap one way or another for Rutgers, but they are taking full advantage of their opportunities in the B1G. [/QUOTE]
